فَاطِرُ (The) Creator ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ and the earth جَعَلَ He made لَكُم for you مِّنْ from أَنفُسِكُمْ yourselves أَزْوَٰجًۭا mates وَمِنَ and among ٱلْأَنْعَـٰمِ the cattle أَزْوَٰجًۭا ۖ mates يَذْرَؤُكُمْ He multiplies you فِيهِ ۚ thereby لَيْسَ (There) is not كَمِثْلِهِۦ like Him شَىْءٌۭ ۖ anything وَهُوَ and He ٱلسَّمِيعُ (is) the All-Hearer ٱلْبَصِيرُ the All-Seer ١١

[He is] Creator of the heavens and the earth. He has made for you from yourselves, mates, and among the cattle, mates; He multiplies you thereby. There is nothing like unto Him, and He is the Hearing, the Seeing.

لَهُۥ To Him (belongs) مَقَالِيدُ (the) keys ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ (of) the heavens وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۖ and the earth يَبْسُطُ He extends ٱلرِّزْقَ the provision لِمَن for whom يَشَآءُ He wills وَيَقْدِرُ ۚ and restricts إِنَّهُۥ Indeed, He بِكُلِّ of every شَىْءٍ thing عَلِيمٌۭ (is) All-Knower ١٢

To Him belong the keys of the heavens and the earth. He extends provision for whom He wills and restricts [it]. Indeed He is, of all things, Knowing.

۞ شَرَعَ He has ordained لَكُم for you مِّنَ of ٱلدِّينِ the religion مَا what وَصَّىٰ He enjoined بِهِۦ upon نُوحًۭا Nuh وَٱلَّذِىٓ and that which أَوْحَيْنَآ We have revealed إِلَيْكَ to you وَمَا and what وَصَّيْنَا We enjoined بِهِۦٓ upon إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim وَمُوسَىٰ and Musa وَعِيسَىٰٓ ۖ and Isa أَنْ To أَقِيمُوا۟ establish ٱلدِّينَ the religion وَلَا and not تَتَفَرَّقُوا۟ be divided فِيهِ ۚ therein كَبُرَ Is difficult عَلَى on ٱلْمُشْرِكِينَ the polytheists مَا what تَدْعُوهُمْ you call them إِلَيْهِ ۚ to it ٱللَّهُ Allah يَجْتَبِىٓ chooses إِلَيْهِ for Himself مَن whom يَشَآءُ He wills وَيَهْدِىٓ and guides إِلَيْهِ to Himself مَن whoever يُنِيبُ turns ١٣

He has ordained for you of religion what He enjoined upon Noah and that which We have revealed to you, [O Muḥammad], and what We enjoined upon Abraham and Moses and Jesus - to establish the religion and not be divided therein. Difficult for those who associate others with Allāh is that to which you invite them. Allāh chooses for Himself whom He wills and guides to Himself whoever turns back [to Him].

وَمَا And not تَفَرَّقُوٓا۟ they became divided إِلَّا until مِنۢ after بَعْدِ after مَا [what] جَآءَهُمُ came to them ٱلْعِلْمُ the knowledge بَغْيًۢا (out of) rivalry بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ among them وَلَوْلَا And if not كَلِمَةٌۭ (for) a word سَبَقَتْ (that) preceded مِن from رَّبِّكَ your Lord إِلَىٰٓ for أَجَلٍۢ a term مُّسَمًّۭى specified لَّقُضِىَ surely, it (would have) been settled بَيْنَهُمْ ۚ between them وَإِنَّ And indeed ٱلَّذِينَ those who أُورِثُوا۟ were made to inherit ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ the Book مِنۢ after them بَعْدِهِمْ after them لَفِى (are) surely in شَكٍّۢ doubt مِّنْهُ concerning it مُرِيبٍۢ disquieting ١٤

And they did not become divided until after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And if not for a word that preceded from your Lord [postponing the penalty] until a specified time, it would have been concluded between them. And indeed, those who were granted inheritance of the Scripture after them are, concerning it, in disquieting doubt.

فَلِذَٰلِكَ So to that فَٱدْعُ ۖ then invite وَٱسْتَقِمْ and stand firm كَمَآ as أُمِرْتَ ۖ you are commanded وَلَا and (do) not تَتَّبِعْ follow أَهْوَآءَهُمْ ۖ their desires وَقُلْ but say ءَامَنتُ I believe بِمَآ in what أَنزَلَ Allah has sent down ٱللَّهُ Allah has sent down مِن of كِتَـٰبٍۢ ۖ (the) Book وَأُمِرْتُ and I am commanded لِأَعْدِلَ that I do justice بَيْنَكُمُ ۖ between you ٱللَّهُ Allah رَبُّنَا (is) our Lord وَرَبُّكُمْ ۖ and your Lord لَنَآ For us أَعْمَـٰلُنَا our deeds وَلَكُمْ and for you أَعْمَـٰلُكُمْ ۖ your deeds لَا (There is) no حُجَّةَ argument بَيْنَنَا between us وَبَيْنَكُمُ ۖ and between you ٱللَّهُ Allah يَجْمَعُ will assemble بَيْنَنَا ۖ [between] us وَإِلَيْهِ and to Him ٱلْمَصِيرُ (is) the final return ١٥

So to that [religion of Allāh] invite, [O Muḥammad], and remain on a right course as you are commanded and do not follow their inclinations but say, "I have believed in what Allāh has revealed of scripture [i.e., the Qur’ān], and I have been commanded to do justice among you. Allāh is our Lord and your Lord. For us are our deeds, and for you your deeds. There is no [need for] argument between us and you. Allāh will bring us together, and to Him is the [final] destination."
